Wulong’s karst landscape includes huge collapse depressions, caves and natural bridges. At the Three Natural Bridges, the open space beneath the rock is as striking as the stone overhead. These landforms are part of the South China Karst World Heritage property. Rather than searching only for a grand panorama, look at the edge where vegetation meets bare rock. Compare whether the arch, the light through it or the surrounding greenery draws your eye first.
